Is Quantum Computing Climate Tech?

Physicists have spent decades trying to apply the laws of quantum mechanics to the physical world in the form of quantum computers, devices that promise to solve some of the hardest problems in biology, chemistry, and materials science at unfathomable speed. Many experts say this technology is finally on the cusp of commercial viability. Physicists and software engineers are understandably excited. But so, too, is another group that might raise …

Oak Ridge National Laboratory, PNNL Cut Isotope Noise 100× For Quantum Operability

ORNL & PNNL achieved 100x contaminant reduction in silicon and germanium, critical for reducing unwanted signals—or isotope noise—in quantum computing.
